For more context, I recently moved back in with my parents and sibling. I'm in my 30s and had been living independently for awhile, but I had to move back in with them because of my severe social anxiety and neurodivergence which made it impossible to live alone or with roommates.

I just had major surgery on my knee last week and I'm recovering slowly every day, but I still can barely walk without crutches.

They are going on vacation for 4 days because my niece has a dance competition 3 hours away over the weekend. They have lots of plans to go out for dinner and things like that. Without even asking me if I'm ok with looking after their dog and cats. Also the cats all live in the basement suite which I can't even get to because of the stairs, but "it's ok because they'll have enough food and water and clean litter".

I made it clear I will not be able to walk the dog. She is 70 lbs. She also needs medication a couple times a day and she regularly jumps on my mother while her dinner is being made. If the dog decides to jump on me, who knows what would happen. I have probably a dozen stitches in my knee.

I can't cook for myself or carry anything. I can't drive anywhere. I'm fucking livid about the entire situation and think it's so unfair, so over the last week I've made a lot of passive aggressive remarks to my mom about it and really guilt tripped her, and now she's treating me like I'm an asshole for ruining her vacation. I didn't ask for this injury to happen and I didn't get to choose my surgery date. It's all just super frustrating and I don't know what to do, and my anxiety is through the roof about being left alone for 4 days in my condition. I think they're all so selfish and horrible.
